It's a great keyboard. The lighting can be turned off, WSAD, or full.

Filco Majestouch 2 Tenkeyless Brown and Majestouch 2 104 Linear-R Limited, with Reds.

The reds are linear like the blacks, but lighter. It's an interesting experience. I gotta say though, I think the browns are my favorite. They're quite solid and have a nice chunky feel to 'em. The tactile feedback is also very subtle, but helps you know when you actually hit the activation point. It's hard to explain if you haven't typed on browns before. But if you do a lot of typing, they're awesome. Personally, I like 'em a lot better than blues.

I think you meant blacks. Browns are tactile but not clicky.

I like the browns if getting something with cherries...

Doesn't seem quite as loud as the buckling spring keyboards. My Model M is downright disruptive if it's near anyone else. The tactile response is perfect though; it clicks (and well) audibly and tactilely the very moment that the key is pressed.

- keys in the places where i want them as opposed to those kbs that **** with the pgdn/pgup locations for example... i rebind left winkey to alt as always.
- wired (**** wireless)

Illuminated Keyboard

When my G19 gives out years down the road, I will go looking for one of these, sexy as hell, and has everything I need. I've discovered that I don't use any of the **** on my g19 that I paid so much extra for. It's kinda sad.

That's why I love Filcos, especially the tenkeyless. Just the **** you need, nothing you don't, super high quality, and built like a tank
